:( flower him lol

Probably one of the chargers only winners this week CF :(

[roo boys!]

38.4   W   Qasim to Daley : [catch] On the back foot, Daley pokes at the ball outside off stump. Out, and I doubt we'll see a worse shot than that today.
K. Daley c A. Cullen b. A. Qasim 23 (49b 0x4 0x6) SR:46.94

BURY HIM!!! lol

I think my seam bowling ratings may be under 10k today, seeing as I played 4 of them rather than the usual three.

[roo boys!]

But seriously though, Qasim has bowled REALLY well, seeing as he came in just because of the pitch. Looks to have cemented his spot in the side.

Stevenson is struggling for a spot but I will keep playing him for exp seeing as he is younger.

    End of over 40 (3 runs) - Gunz n Rozez(168-8). 54 runs required from 10 overs. RR 4.20 RRR 5.40
K. Rudraraju 2 (8b) , S. McPhee 2 (2b) , S. Chiba 10-2-31-2
39.6   .   Chiba to Rudraraju : [great fielding] No run, flicked to mid-wicket and some excellent fielding by Qasim saves any runs they might have got.

Oh yeah, and he has Accom fielding 8)

End of over 41 (maiden) - Gunz n Rozez(168-8). 54 runs required from 9 overs. RR 4.10 RRR 6.00
S. McPhee 2 (8b) , K. Rudraraju 2 (8b) , R. Ali 6-2-14-2

Hurry up and finish them off ::)

    End of over 42 (4 runs) - Gunz n Rozez(172-8). 50 runs required from 8 overs. RR 4.10 RRR 6.25
K. Rudraraju 5 (10b) , S. McPhee 3 (12b) , R. Naved 6-0-31-1

Still an outside chance BOOMZ... ;)

[roo boys!]

42.1   1   Ali to McPhee : [missed runout] Punched out to mid off and they'll have to be quick - the throw hits the stumps, but Rudraraju is home. Then McPhee wants a second run, and charges halfway down the pitch before being sent back by Rudraraju and Naved's shy is wide anyway. Absolute, total chaos!

Bah. Sloppy.


42.3   W   Ali to Rudraraju : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Rudraraju makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
K. Rudraraju c A. Qasim b. R. Ali 5 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR:41.67

I love your fielding Qasim! :-*

43.2   4   Naved to McPhee : McPhee decides to go after Naved, gives himself room and goes just over cover's head for four.

Cop that! lol


Roo Boys! won by 42 runs

S. McPhee is tired.

    End of over 45 (maiden) - Gunz n Rozez(179-10). 43 runs required from 5 overs. RR 3.98 RRR 8.60
S. McPhee 9 (20b) , R. Ali 7.4-2-17-4

Very very very happy with that win! Good game BOOMZ.

Good game :)

[Boomz]

Not really ur tactics but yeah ur extra seamer won it for u imo. I don't think it would have made a difference though if I'd played my other seamer as he isn't good enough.. would have been smashed more than my spinners lol

[8-6 Suited]

BP, it is funny you said what you said about Dbest and my game... Because I actually wanted him. :D I made our rosters this week :D


Tickle My Timber won by 18 runs

   Dbest XI   Tickle My Timber

Overall:   163,902   169,159


Man of the match:   Matthew Pretty (3 points), Patrick Kortlang (2), Stephen Saunders (1)

Pretty scored 148* for me which was fantastic. Lidgerwood got a 71 with him which lead me to this win. In the end though, Lidgerwood was expensive bowling going for 8.1 an over. But I had done enough. :D

Kortlang lead my bowling figures with 3-48 off his 10.

[BratPack]

I'm just so flowering powered off. I mean my team doesn't have the best orders or bowlers but seriously 99 off the last 10 overs? McGregor my worst bowler going for nothing while my best goes for 78, I mean even being a spinner. 7 flowering 8?

And then my Top Order. The same top order that rated almost 10.5k today. No half centuries, highest of 49 and my highest rated bat gets 3?

flower this game. Seriously flower it. Don't expect the Round-Up tonight, if I go through the GC tonight I may just put my fist through the monitor. I'm sure I'll be fine once I blow off steam though

[8-6 Suited]

Happens to all of us BP. Happens to even the best teams in the game. Real life and on here. Thats why I like to play a friendly on the Thursday on whatever pitch it is and I make my SOD match the same for the Friday just to look at what I can do differently, to get the upper hand.

OMG!!

[8-6 Suited]

Yeah and you still make it home lol

46.2   .   Bailey to Cox : [dropped] Oh my God - I can't believe it's not butter on Botten's fingers. That was a simple catch and Botten grassed it. Bailey doesn't look very impressed.


That cost the DareDevils that win, but... I tipped you so I am pretty happy anyway :D

[Fletch74]

Won my match by 6 wickets and cracked 160k in my ratings :)

Man of the match: Zahid Farhan (3 points), Samuel Breman (2), Alexander Lindsay (1)

My investment in Farhan is starting to pay off. He's finished not out in his last 2 innings taking my team to victory with 2 50's in both occasions :)

[MajorLazer]

Shaggy, you are just about the only one to tip me to win.

Glad I could help. ;)
